Transactional leadership
A transactional leader is one who guides and
motivates his followers in the direction of
established goals by clarifying role and task
requirements.
This is the classic transactional style. The leader sets clear goals and
rewards accomplishment through a variety of ways. This means that their
employees perform up to the expected levels, but to get people to ‘go that
extra mile’ – a more transformational style is needed

to provide early warning of problems. This style tends to produce only
moderate performance.
